Hi Bogdan,

yes, i read also this docs, and IMHO this is confusing.. So the proposed 
change for mysql is then even a smaller thing. Most datatypes in the schemes 
are probably way big enough anyway. For postgres the size for 'INTEGER' is 
completly ommited anyway, perhaps its make sense to use this way also for the 
oracle module. This would mean that nothing needs to be changed.

Cheers,

Henning
